Does breaking up and getting back together YEARS later ever work out?
Like separating from a long-term relationship, but then agreeing to get back together a couple of years down the line… And these people are in their 20s…
Even if these two love each other and been through traumatic life experiences, what are the odds they’ll meet someone new and forget about the "pact"? Basically move on… The underlying problem is trust, and that they possibly met each other too young.
Lets see you sound like me… Imo id say no. Im sure within years time the 2 of you will grow apart and move on. But if nothing works now in the relationship why would it work later? Just a thought..


yes, it’s very possible, as long as both of them can forget the past and not hold grudges about things that already happened.
they need to start fresh

If there’s not too much bad blood and things ended amicably, sure. People grow up, so maybe those people can reconnect later on when they’ve both abandoned the things that caused them to break up in the first place. If they’re still the same person, doubt it.

It depends. If the reason for the break-up was more of a circumstantial issue – like you both were at different places in your life – and you’ve moved past it, then a 2nd shot could work. But if it’s more of a character flaw on either side, then I wouldn’t suggest it. I don’t believe people ever truly change.
**edit** Well it is a big world and it’s not practical to think s/he will be waiting for you forever. You may have a deep connection that can withstand anything, even time but then again you may not. Either way I would say, do what’s right for you right now and if it’s meant to be it’ll happen.

agreeing? like making arrangements ‘hey, lets just meet back up in a few years?" lol. I dont know. It could. You can rekindle an old flame- it has happened. I dont see why someone would go backwards, but maybe they just had some minor problems and have matured.

Yes-maturity has a lot do with relationships fizzling out in younger years. But, its also a double-eged sword, because maturity often breeds enlightenment and can therefore make someone less desirable than they once were or appeared to be.

yes it does. usually one person misses the other so much that they are willing to budge. years later works much better than days and weeks later. Cause you learn that its not worth arguing over. sometimes you have to just admit you are wrong when you are even right. And sometimes you have do take your spouse criticism and use it your advantage instead of saying "like me the way i am or leave"
edit: and as a guy you already know that women think they are always right and hate to admit when they a wrong! But if you broke up with a person cause they was cheating. i wouldn’t take them back. if you do its saying "im okay with that". Once shame on them, twice shame on you. i can forgive but i wont forget!

I think so, especially if the two have grown and matured. They have probably learned how to be in a relationship better with the experience they’ve gained in the time apart. Like if your 15 and break up in high school, then get back together when your 24 or something, alot has changed during that time.
